The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has been joined in the suit by the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Godwin Emefiele, to secure his right to vie for the presidency in 2023.
The Federal High Court, Abuja, on Thursday, joined PDP and two lawyers as interest parties in the suit.
Emefiele had in the suit urged the court to restrain the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) and the Attorney General of the Federation from disqualifying him from contesting for the presidential ticket of any political party of his choice ahead of the 2023 general elections.
He had expressed the desire to pursue his presidential ambition, while still occupying his position as the governor of the apex bank.
The PDP and the two lawyers, John Aikpokpo-Martins and Olakunle Ebun, applied to be joined as interested parties in the suit.
The two lawyers applied to be joined in the suit on behalf of a non-governmental organisation – Save Nigeria Our Fatherland.
